Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The lining epithelium of female genitals if squamous epithelium and any injury to the mucosa either by infective agents or trauma can breach the mucosa and it may leads to the symptoms which you are having.

These epithelium is known for good regeneration, the scab which you have developed over the clitoris is may be due to bacterial vaginosis, if there is a change environment in the genitals it may leads to the present symptoms.

As you are applying the cream over the affected part of the clitoris the symptoms will come down and you will get back your normal lining epithelium.
Thank you.
